Impact

In the sections below, please describe how the project is related to the Wikimedia mission and Wikimedia's strategic priorities.

Fit to strategy

How will this project support the key organizational objectives of

increasing reach (more people will access or contribute to Wikipedia or our other projects), participation (more people actually contributing), quality (more content, more useful content, or higher-quality content), credibility (more trust in our projects), organizational maturity and effectiveness (how it will move you or the Wikimedia community forward), or financial sustainability (how it will help you achieve more in the long run)?

This statement should address at least one of the strategic priorities listed here specifically. See WMF Grants Program criteria for decisionmaking.: Our work will increase participation because people will start editing after our presentations. It will also increase reach by making people more aware of the free encyclopedia. And our work supports diversity, bringing Nigerians into editing.

Benefits

If the project will benefit a specific online community, please tell us.: English Wikipedia, Wikipedia Commons

Please provide a brief statement about how the project is related to other work in the Wikimedia movement. For example, does the project fit into a work area such as GLAM, education, organizational development, editor retention, or outreach?: Outreach because we will make presentations to the general public, GLAM because we will partner with the National Archive

If successful, will the project have the potential to be replicated successfully by other individuals, groups, or organizations? Please explain how in 1–2 sentences.: Yes. Our success will be replicable across Africa. We will be able to train others.
